On December 10, 1836, President Sam Houston approved the first national flag of the Republic of Texas. This flag, known as the “National Standard of Texas” displayed a large golden five pointed star centered on an azure ground. This flag flew over the Republic of Texas until January 25, 1839.

A bill describing the “Lone Star Flag”, a flag that would become the second official flag of the Republic of Texas, was introduced on December 28, 1838 by Senator William H. Wharton. The bill was, of course, referred to committee and this committee proposed a substitute bill including the same flag design proposed by Senator Wharton. This bill was passed by the Texas Congress on January 21, 1839 and approved by Texas President Mirabeau B. Lamar on January 25, 1839. This was almost six years before Texas became a member of the United States of America.

When Texas was admitted to the Union in 1845, the Lone Star Flag came along. And so it was until 1879 when the Sixteenth Legislature approved the “Revised Civil Statues of 1879.” These revised statutes provided that “all civil statutes of a general nature, in force when the Revised Statutes take effect, and which are not included herein, or which are not hereby expressly continued in force, are hereby repealed.” Since the revised statutes included no legislation concerning the flag and did not “expressly” continue in force the 1839 law, the 1839 flag law was repealed.

From the date of the repeal, September 1, 1879 until the 1933 Flag Act, Texas was without an official state flag.

The legislation adopted in 1933, was quite particular about the design and location of the lone star and the colors of the flag: blood red, azure blue and white. The colors were said to impart the “lessons of the Flag: bravery, loyalty and purity.” However, no standard for “blood red” or “azure blue” existed and flags manufactured within the state varied in color and dimension.

In 1993, the statutes concerning the flag were revisited and the official description of the state flag was revised.

The state flag consists of a rectangle with a width to length ratio of two to three containing: (1) a blue vertical stripe one-third the entire length of the flag wide, and two equal horizontal stripes, the upper stripe white, the lower red, each two-thirds the entire length of the flag long; and (2) a white, regular five-pointed star in the center of the blue stripe, oriented so that one point faces upward, and of such a size that the diameter of a circle passing through the five points of the star is equal to three-fourths the width of the blue stripe.

The colors of the flag were also stipulated as being “Old Glory Red” and “Old Glory Blue”, the same colors found in the flag of the United States. These colors are defined in the Standard Color Reference of America.
